At the end of our streets is sunrise;
At the end of our streets are spars;
At the end of our streets is sunst;
At the end of our streets--the stars.

I just discovered I have the same color skin as peanut butter.

By a joint resolution approved December 18, 2001 (Public Law 107-89), the Congress has designated September 11 of each year as ``Patriot Day.''

Yes, it's true.

"Take Control Of Your Life", says a poster in my office. Do you think honest people really feel like they have no control over their life? Do you think all the hype and scare that is fed to you makes you feel like you have no control? Maybe the poster should just read, "Turn Off Your Television."

This morning I arose before dawn, and headed out my front door, and stopped in the threshold. I said: "Wow." The morning was slowly coming to the eastern horizon, and Orion was still visible, and I could see Venus very clearly in the eastern sky. It was so bright, I couldn't believe it. Also, one of its neighbors is Saturn, which looked dimmer, more like a star. I looked around at the rest of the sky, but most of the eastern stars had already been eclipsed by the brightness of the morning sky.

I started walking, but couldn't take my eyes off of Venus, like a jewel hanging in the sky, illuminating the still morning. This is why I like rising so early. I wouldn't see the stars otherwise.
